She didnt say he necessarily would. Trumps next deadline for certifying the deal to Congress would be mid- October, and Trump has already said he will declare Iran non-compliant at that point, despite the IAEA repeatedly declaring Iran compliant since then. Haley didnt appear to see any problem with that. Rather, Haley insisted that the questions of Iran following the letter of the deal was to get bogged down in narrow technicalities, and that it was time to move into the big picture, in which Iran can be declared in violation in some broad way. Haley didnt offer any factual violations, rather claiming Irans long history of aggression made it inherently in violation of the deal. She also false claiming Iran was violating a requirement to let the IAEA into its conventional military sites, despite the IAEA having already pointed out they can only visit such sites if there is evidence of activity there, and they have no such evidence, and moreover that they arent even seeking such access from Iran in the first place. Haley also made note of Iran struggling to keep its heavy water stockpile below the cap, even though heavy water is not a proliferation risk, and the cap was meant to be in place to oblige the P5+1 to buy Irans access production due to the ongoing redesign of a heavy water reactor they were going to build. Indeed, the whole problem here was that after the US bought the first batch of heavy water, Congress was furious about it, and no ones bought any since, leaving Iran stuck with it.
